abstract
Using the light-front quark model, we calculate the transition form factors, decay rates, and longitudinal lepton polarization asymmetries for the exclusive rare $B_s\to (K,\eta^{(\prime)})(\ell^+\ell^-,\nu_{\ell}\bar{\nu_{\ell}}$ ($\ell=e,\mu,\tau$) decays within the standard model, taking into account the $\eta-\eta'$ mixing angle. For the mixing angle $\theta=-20^{\circ}$ ($-10^{\circ}$) in the octet-singlet basis, we obtain ${\rm BR}(B_s\to \eta\sum\nu_{\ell}\bar{\nu}_{\ell})=1.1 (1.7)\times 10^{-6}$, ${\rm BR}(B_s\to \eta\mu^+\mu^-)=1.5 (2.4)\times 10^{-7}$, ${\rm BR}(B_s\to \eta\tau^+\tau^-)=3.8 (5.8)\times 10^{-8}$, ${\rm BR}(B_s\to \eta'\sum\nu_{\ell}\bar{\nu}_{\ell})=1.8 (1.3)\times 10^{-6}$, ${\rm BR}(B_s\to \eta'\mu^+\mu^-)=2.4 (1.8)\times 10^{-7}$, and ${\rm BR}(B_s\to \eta'\tau^+\tau^-)=3.4 (2.6)\times 10^{-8}$, respectively. The branching ratios for the $B_s\to K(\nu_{\ell}\bar{\nu_{\ell}},\ell^+\ell^-)$ decays are at least an order of magnitude smaller than those for the $B_s\to \eta^{(\prime)}(\nu_{\ell}\bar{\nu_{\ell}},\ell^+\ell^-)$ decays. The averaged values of the lepton polarization asymmetries for $B_s\to (K,\eta^{(\prime)})\ell^+\ell^-$ are obtained as $\la P^K_L\ra_\mu=\la P^\eta_L\ra_\mu=\la P^{\eta'}_L\ra_\mu=-0.98$, $\la P^K_L\ra_\tau=-0.24$, $\la P^\eta_L\ra_\tau=-0.20$ and $\la P^{\eta'}_L\ra_\tau=-0.14$, respectively.
